58: Chapter 58: Gathering Herbs in the Mountains 58: Chapter 58: Gathering Herbs in the Mountains Half an hour quickly passed.
Kexin called out twice from the inner room, and then Chen Yang walked into the back room from the backyard.
Chen Yang approached the sickbed and could feel without touching that the silver needles on Kexin’s body had already beco extrely cold.
This was all because they had been contaminated by the cold Qi in Kexin’s body.
Chen Yang endured the chilly sensation and removed the needles from Kexin.
Although the silver needles were covered in cold Qi, it was much easier than when he had inserted them.
As a result, Chen Yang had enough composure to wander on Kexin’s body, savoring the entire process…
Kexin noticed sothing wasn’t quite right, but apart from blushing, there was nothing she could do.
For she knew that if she said anything about it, Chen Yang would definitely deny it.
So, to avoid the embarrassnt, she could only bite her lip and endure it with a flushed face.
Five or six minutes passed like this, and all the needles had been removed from Kexin’s body.
As the last needle was pulled out, Kexin instantly felt her body ease and the cold sensation was gone.
This sensation was like ridding her body of decades of accumulated impurities in one go, feeling effortlessly light.
“Chen Yang, I never expected you could really cure my cold Qi condition, thank you so much,” Kexin said, her surprise mixed with gratitude.
“Hehe, it was nothing,” Chen Yang laughed, waving his hand modestly yet with a hint of pride.
Watching Chen Yang’s slightly self-satisfied deanor, Kexin smiled faintly and then said, “The cold Qi condition is known as an incurable disease by doctors in the city.
Curing my condition is no different from saving my life!
So, I’ve decided to grant you a favor as thanks!”
“As long as it’s within my ability, ask for any reward you like,” she said earnestly.
“Oh?
Really?” Chen Yang asked with pleasant surprise.
“Of course, would the village head make a promise that ans nothing?” Kexin said, oblivious to Chen Yang’s gaze while patting her chest in assurance.
But no sooner had she made that guarantee, she noticed Chen Yang’s lecherous eyes were fixed on her body…
Kexin was instantly frightened.
“Of…
of course, except for that,” she hastily added.
“Tsk, how boring,” noticing that his line of thought was fruitless, Chen Yang imdiately lost interest and turned to clean up the silver needles.
The needles used to treat the cold Qi condition had absorbed a lot of cold Qi.
To reuse them, they would need to be properly processed; otherwise, this set of silver needles couldn’t be used on other patients.
Chen Yang put the needles in a basin and then turned toward the kitchen, intending to scald them first with boiling water.
Seeing Chen Yang seemingly indifferent to her offer of repaynt, Kexin felt a bit defiant.
“Chen Yang, you better not underestimate the offer I just made because I’m only a small village head!
You might deeply regret it later!” Kexin chased him into the back kitchen, her face full of smugness as she spoke to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
Kexin really was amusing.
She was insisting on offering sothing he wasn’t interested in?
“Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.
I know your family has a background, might be quite wealthy or powerful, but what does that have to do with ?” Chen Yang said, his face expressionless.
Chen Yang knew about Kexin’s family background from their first eting.
A young and beautiful woman in her early twenties running to be village head in a mountain village.
Wearing a brand na watch worth hundreds of thousands, it was clear to anyone that Kexin’s family was out of the ordinary.
Seeing her extraordinary background already seen through by Chen Yang, her face reddened once more.
“You…
well, I just owe you a favor.
If you ever need help, you can co and ask !
There are still so matters at the village office, so I’ll be leaving first,” Kexin said with a blush before running off.
Because she felt she couldn’t win in a conversation with Chen Yang.
It was as if she was being bullied.
But this feeling of being bullied didn’t cause her to be averse; instead, she found it strangely fascinating.
Because she couldn’t make sense of this feeling, she ended up running away with a red face.
However, Chen Yang was unaware of Wu Kexin’s thoughts.
Seeing that Wu Kexin insisted on repaying him and ntioned owing him a favor, Chen Yang could only helplessly shake his head and then continued to clean his silver needles.
Dealing with silver needles was rather troubleso.
Chen Yang first scalded them with hot water three tis, then scalded them twice more with disinfectant.
Afterward, he took them out to the yard and laid them on a vacant patch of ground, planning to sun them for the afternoon.
After placing the silver needles, it was already noon.
The sun hanging high in the sky was very hot.
Chen Yang went under the cowshed and looked up at Brother Eagle’s nest, only to find that Brother Eagle was not in the nest, likely off hunting.
“This foodie, if not eating, is looking for food to eat,” Chen Yang said with a smile and a shake of his head, then left it be.
After grabbing a couple of handfuls of cow tendon grass from the basket by the cowshed and throwing it to the rabbits, Chen Yang left the backyard.
“Taking advantage of the noonti when nobody is around, I’ll go spread so corn kernels on Weed Slope!
In the afternoon, I’ll head up the mountain to collect so herbs to prepare a couple of prescriptions for Wu Kexin,” Chen Yang planned out the day’s tasks in his mind.
After making his plan, Chen Yang imdiately began mixing up the corn kernels, adding in the taming pellets.
Having mixed the corn kernels, Chen Yang picked up the container and headed to Weed Slope.
The wild chickens ate very quickly; the corn Chen Yang had spread in the morning was almost all gone by the afternoon.
But this was exactly the result Chen Yang wanted to see.
The more the chickens ate, the greater the chance they ingested the taming pellets, which ant a higher chance they would stay on Weed Slope!
“Eat up, eat up!
Have as much as you like!” Chen Yang said with a cheery laugh as he grabbed the corn mixed with taming pellets and began spreading it among the weeds.
After making another round around Weed Slope, Chen Yang returned with the empty bucket.
Once ho, Chen Yang rested for a bit, and when the temperature outside had dropped so, he slung his basket on his back and set off up the mountain.
On the way up, Chen Yang spotted Brother Eagle’s figure in the fields.
It was circling above not too far away in the mountain forest.
“Brother Eagle!
Co here!” Chen Yang shouted at the top of his lungs toward Brother Eagle.
Chen Yang’s voice was quite loud.
After yelling from afar, Brother Eagle, high in the sky, actually heard him.
Upon seeing it was Chen Yang calling, it imdiately stopped circling and flew straight towards him.
Whoosh…
Brother Eagle’s wingspan was more than a ter wide!
Its body hadn’t yet reached him, but the gust of wind from its descent already had.
The formidable sight of the golden eagle diving down could be terrifying.
Although Chen Yang wasn’t afraid of it, he was still a bit worried about its talons, hooked like iron claws, catching hold of him.
Luckily, Brother Eagle was very understanding of humans.
So, it didn’t consider Chen Yang a landing spot, instead alighting on the ground not too far away.
“You, pay so attention, will you!
You make nervous every ti!” Chen Yang scolded with a laugh.
Cheep cheep,
Brother Eagle didn’t seem to understand what Chen Yang ant.
Cocking its head curiously at Chen Yang, it seed to ask what he had just said.
“I’m saying you’re really fierce!” Chen Yang said irritably and then patted the basket on his back, “Hop on!
I’ll take you up the mountain for so fun!”
Cheep.
Brother Eagle still didn’t understand Chen Yang’s first statent.
But it understood the aning behind the patting of the basket; it leaped up, then firmly grasped the basket and stood behind Chen Yang.
“Heh, quite the style.” With a majestic golden eagle standing on his back, Chen Yang felt a great sense of accomplishnt.
With a chuckle, he continued deeper into the mountain with Brother Eagle on his back.
